The only major implication of ROM lenses is that you cannot use them on the Leicaflex SL or SL2. If you think that you may one day want to get one of those, then buy 3-cam lenses; if you are 100% sure that an SL/SL2 is not in your future, then it makes more sense to buy ROM lenses, since the ROM may provide some functionality in future R models. Right now, all it does is adjusts the focal length on certain Metz flashes automatically, but Leica always hints at some future improvements.
